The other was the outstanding play of Fullback Faurot of the Missouri team, whose ability to get into every play for Missouri gave a living demonstration of the meaning of the adjective ubiqui tous. The game, a defensive one throughout on both sides, and sig- nalized by the remarkably even strength of the opposing rush lines. came to its first and only focus tow-j har been in St. Louis territory but without any great evidence of attacking threat by Missouri, when Faurot, with a fine rush that followed a 13-yard forward pass, brought the ball to the one-yard line of the St.

II rammed in vain. The Billiken lin stood firm as it had almost throughout the entire day. Simpson, a forlorn hope, was sent into the breach. This time the Billiken defense broka through Missouri's line so quickly that the runner was hurled back to the 6-yard line for a loss. Missouri had lost the ball on downs, with victory only one yard away.

This militant stand, which may have been based on Wagner's fumble, turned the tide of "battle for the day and cemented the determination of the Billikens not to yield an inch, except over inanimate' forma. Throughout the remainder of th game they fought a defensive battle that deserved praise. Once more during the game, with the ball in midfield, the Billikena showed the strength of their lino holding the enemy to downs. This was near the end of the third quarter. Missouri had nudged the ball by three short gains to within on yard of one of the few first downs made by either side during the contest.

On the only occasion during the game in which either team had a real chance to score It waa Faurot who made it possible by recovering a fumble of a punt of which Eggler was guilty, on the St, Louis 22-yard line. On the next play It was Faurot who made one of the rare successful forward passes of the game, Walsh receiving It for a gain of 12 yards.

This announce ment was made late yesterday by Business Manager Bill Friel said that Sisler and the club had reached an agreement during the day. According to the' terms, which were not made public in detail, Sis-ler's pay will depend upon whether he is able to take his place in the batting order as a regular player.

Friel stated that the agreement was for one year Sisler's name was mentioned as the probable choice of Owner Phil Ball for the 1923 pilot's job late last season. In fact it waa hoped he would be able to make the last trip with the team in this capacity. Sisler, however, stated that he did not feel ready for office. Sisler's eyes, the failing of which caused his retirement from active play during the season, have improved considerably, according to Friel.

It is hoped that he will be able to resume play as well as assume managerial duties. Sisler is no longer under regular treatment for his eyes. He plays golf, drives his auto, hunts and fishes and in other ways shows indications of recovery. However, there still is a dotlbt as to whether he will be able to don his uniform as a player. The sinus trouble which caused his retirement developed before spring training season started.

Sis ler was subsequently under treat ment by sinus and eye specialists and an operation followed. His improvement was immediate but his complete cure has not yet been announced.

Oct. 20. Cornell overwhelmed Colgate today 34 to 7. It was Cornell's twentieth consecutive gridiron victory. Colgate was repeatedly disconcerted and fooled by Dobie's effective forward pass attack.

Captain Pfann hurled his passes with unerring accuracy and the receivers almost invariably went for long gains. Cornell opened with a rush, carrying the ball to Colgate's 3-yard line, where the Maroon held. Shortly afterward. Ramsey, made the first touchdown for Cornell. A forward pass, Pfann to Cassidy, took the ball over for Cornell's second touchdown in the next period.

In the third quarter Ramsey crashed through for a touchdown and a few minutes later scored again on a forward pass. Cornell's fifth and final touchdown came on another forward pass, Pfann to Cassidy. Colgate scored in the final period on a forward pass. Hess, substitute fullback, to Reddinger. Welsh.
